This project is to establish a national institute to train ex-addicts to work in drug rehabilitation projects. Efforts will be made to create career ladders within these projects. The institute curriculums will be finalized, accreditation with universities will be negotiated, and trainees will be selected. Training of 2 groups of 25 counselors will last 6 months and involve cycles of campus and inthe-field training. There will also be management and liaison trainees. The training institute will be centrally located in Washington. Poor ex-addicts have been and will continue to be involved in the program; they will evaluate their courses, with course content influenced by their comments. This program will serve the juvenile population in Anacostia, and will function as an integrated component of a citywide drug addiction treatment program. It will establish a halfway house with 2 30-bed residential units for male and female addicts. "Graduates" of the halfway house will enter a program of outpatient care including diagnostic, evaluation, and planning services, individual and group therapy, education training and job placement. A school and community education program will also be developed. This project will have 2 storefronts for counseling prevention backed up by a therapeutic community and an outpatient methadone withdrawal and maintenance program at Grady Hospital. Grady will provide medical and psychiatric backup for the whole program. There will be close ties with other community agencies such as the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation.

St. Leonard's House is a halfway house for exoffenders sponsored by the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago, located in the near Westside. The project has been operational since January 1968 and has served about 2,000 addicts, providing outreach, detoxification at nearby hospitals, residential care, group and individual counseling, and employment srevices. Medical care is provided through a nearby OEO funded health center. Over 50 percent of the staff are neighborhood residents. Another strong point is the continuing effort to increase community involvement and control over the entire St. Leonard's House program. This project is intended to develop capability to work with large corporations at the managerial level in terms of encouraging them to establish specific corporate policies and programs for the employment of rehabilitated addicts. The grantee will establish a basic staff which can relate to 4 or 5 major corporations. With the plan established, the grantee would provide technical assistance to both the employer and the local drug rehabilitation program in the implementation of that plan. The grantee will also conduct seminars and training sessions bringing management, labor, and program staff together. A small national advisory panel will be established which will include some rehabilitated low-income addicts.
